Hey there I'm posting from lupu 5.1.1 nice that you squezed midori in and still have same iso size as 5.1!
My gprs modem wasn't autodetected though in this one had to modprobe it.
I did try ayttm though and it worked with msn surprisingly (but it crashed on IRC).
lupu still display some warnings about deprecated config files
"WARNING: Deprecated config file /etc/modprobe.conf, all config files belong into /etc/modprobe.d/."

Will go thru other stuff._________________puppy.b0x.me stuff mirrored HERE or HERE

After a bit more testing it appears that alsa and the sound programs are working well either as a live disk or a frugal install (without a save file) as soon as the save file is created the PCM appears and is set to the default control in alsamixer operated by the volume control on the taskbar and the problems start. Have tried to set the main volume to be operated by the volume control in the taskbar "retrovol" but it wont let me change it. Why would it keep increasing the pcm to its maximum when the next or a new track is played no matter what the volume is set at. (Fluppy uses the pcm as a volume control but does not suffer the same problems) I could understand if I was using some obscure hardware but it is a nvidia chipset on a new branded motherboard that works with other versions of puppy. (I had sound problems with lucid on another new machine with the graphics card sound chip being recognised as a sound card)
Could someone please help as it is spoiling what is a great operating system for me (or will I have to use something else due to the hardware I am using?)
Cheers

I have uploaded a new version of Bibletime today, plus Gnu_Backgammon prepared by tronkel, and xchat. You can always get a copy of the latest index to the puppy-lucid repo of PPM at LupuNews (Quickpet under News).

All these, although they do show up in ppm, give an error failed to download. Have the repositories updated yet?

Does it matter which program is playing the files? Have you tried it with Audacious?

Remember, even if the numbers are the same there still might be different versions because the ones in lucid puppy are often the Ubuntu versions. Is Fluppy using the same player? Probably not the same version of gnome-mplayer? You might try gnome-mplayer 0.9.9.2 in the PPM. Also might try Smplayer from PPM.

Hi all

Have been checking the sound setups on 511 (not working) and Fluppy 004 (working)

Have upgraded to 1.0.23 no difference with Gnome player but Pmusic is working properly now, installed SMplayer and not a problem with that, fingers crossed I think we have a solution,I will just replace gnome player with smplayer/vlc as default. strange how gnome player does not like this chipset as before this it has been rock solid. will try 0.9.9.2 and see if that is the same (will let you know what happens)

On a different topic, my wife has been playing some flash games that are very heavy on resources and 511 is working a lot better than XP or windows 7 (her words).

Wow. That is very nice to hear.

Just so you know, we are using gnome-mplayer 0.9.6 as default because later versions do not do full screen correctly with jwm--though they do with Icewm--that is why gnome-mplayer 0.9.9.2 is in the repo.

done a clean frugal install to go back to back to alsa 1.0.22
SMplayer's quality (video and audio) is now better than vlc (with having the greater resources on the higher spec machine I think) (would still like to see vlc as default as I find it performs better on low spec machines, but thats only my opinion)

Still no luck with the download of Gnome player 0.9.9.2 behaving the same as the previous version. (even in icewm)
No control over the volume at all of Pmusic now I am back to using alsa 1.0.22. (full volume all the time)
